Hey SZians, I just calculated the mileage of my bike..... The calculation goes here,
Got reserve at the 2704 kilometre -- Filled three litres of petrol at the 2706th km... Again my bike got reserved at the 2886th KM.....
So,2886-2706=180.Again 180-2(the km ran during reserve period)=178. 178/3= 59.33.....

I am really happy..... Is this procedure correct to calculate the mileage??
During this period maximum speed touched is 80 KMPH... The normal speed is 60KMPH...And again after 2886th KM reserve hit, ran for 20KMs and at 2096th KM filled in 2 litres of petrol.....Yet to check the mileage of this 2ltrs..... Need suggestions from fellow riders about this calculation....

Yo suresh, you from dindigul? I am also from there

. reserve to reserve calculation may not be the accurate method, this is because the petrol level on both the sides of the tank never be the same (when very low). I would suggest to measure from full dry to full dry. Obviously you would now the last few kilometers have a petrol can handy during those last few kilometers, this will surely give accurate measurement, make sure you use the petrol stagnated on the other side of the tank too. happy riding!

Are you kidding me? Its way too low, how do you ride your bike? Check for fuel leak. There is something wrong with your bike man! Get it checked! Or you might have a lot of petrol thief in your locality.

My SZ-R delivers constant 50 Kmpl (+- 5 Kmpl) depending upon my mood (Riding style)

but never below 40 Kmpl.

Second service done, bike is smoother than ever. 1700 Kms done.

Had broken speedo-taco glass, asked SVC about it during second service asked me to pay Rs. 2300/- to replace speedo and tacho. Then I wrote an email to Yamaha India on Thursday got a call from Western Region Service Manager and also from Yamaha SVC service manager on Monday, took the bike to them, initially he said that he have one used speedo of other SZ-R with 1100 Kms done, I straightaway denied, then he checked catalog for the glass and found that the glass / fiber over speedo and tacho comes as a different part with different part number then he opened other speedo got the glass / fiber and replaced mine. Also saw silver paint of bike's left panel peeling off, showed it SVC manager and he was kind enough to get that replaced after 2 days as the part was not available. I am really impressed with the helpful nature of Yamaha SVC guys, he never was frustrated nor unhelpful.

Bike is now problem free and happy with it, planning to go for a road trip of 120 - 150 kms to see its performance on highway, I think it should be good

Cheers!

My SZR

Can u spot the beast within??

**lalitp** · 05-30-2011, 11:14 AM

Top Speed update: 103 Kmph

No visible vibration from the bike. It reached 70 Kmph in no time and till 85 Kmph it was pretty good acceleration but after that it took a while to climb up to 3 figures.

**dhilip1** · 05-30-2011, 03:56 PM

Yes dude... till 80 KM .. i dont find any difficulty ..but after that it takes so much time to Reach 90 & 100...

Is there any way to fix this ?

**ashwinprakas** · 05-31-2011, 09:50 PM

Hey bro... gave up on my dream KARIZMA cause of the unreasonable waiting...

Hi Dilip,

Please dont take in a wrong way, but your mileage calculation method is pretty incorrect.

My suggestion to you is to fill the petrol above reserve level, as soon as it hits the reserve, fill it up with 1 liter of petrol and ride the bike till it comes to reserve, repeat this practice twice or thrice, sum it up and take out the average of it, it should be your 'approximate' mileage. Also consider loss of fuel due to evaporation.

Cheers!

Hello,

In which gear you ride the bike @ 40-50 Kmph?

There is a thread here on xbhp on how to improve the mileage of the bike, do go through it.

Also check if there is any leakage for petrol. Try changing the petrol bunker or manufacturer e.g. shifting from HP to IndiaOil.

Try to ride the bike in the higher gears, make sure you are on 5th gear when you ride at 40-50 kmph, it helps improving the mileage.

Seniors any thought on it?

Cheers!
